Select the

disable broadcast key rotation. When enabled, the key
indices used for encrypting/decrypting broadcast traffic will
be alternatively rotated on every interval specified in the
Broadcast Key Rotation Interval. Enabling broadcast key
rotation enhances the broadcast traffic security on the
WLAN. This value is disabled by default.

keys every (30-

Specify a time period in seconds to rotate the key index
used for the broadcast key. Set the interval to a shorter
duration like 3600 seconds for tighter broadcast traffic
security on the wireless LAN. Set the interval to a longer
duration like 86400 seconds for less broadcast traffic
security requirements. Default value is 86400 secs. Enter a
value in the range of 30 to 604800 seconds.
